Hi guys 

It finally happened! I got the new diesel tank. I'm over the moon :D  It's beautiful! 

This weekend I headed to the boat thinking I'd spend 3-4 hours glassing in the support for the tank. Fast forward a day and a half and I was done. Oh well... At least the forward support is as spiffy as can be :) 

Behind the scenes, I'm prepping for the great fairing nightmare of 2018. I'm talking to the manufacture of Flexicat tools. They offer a range of fairing and sanding tools that they claim will cut both material use and time in half. I'm excited to see if that statement is true.

Oh, and things are looking up in the shed department :) It looks like I might very well (in 2-3 weeks) find myself in the same shed I was in last summer. If that happens, that would be amazing!

Also, I'm trying to get my hands on a Gel Plane for next weekend. Fingers crossed. 

I'm off to take Jökull for a long walk :) Have an awesome Sunday guys!

Ah, I forgot... You kind of sorted it anyway with the plastic tube to reach the lowest point in the tank... In my good old times of model planes we used some lead weight at the end of the tube. Thus the tube was always where the gravity and the liquids were when doing tricks like loopings or barrel rolls. I am not asking you to do loopings with Athena, but I wanted to post that before you came up with the tube anyway. Best regards.

I know I am a bit late on replying, but on the port side holes in the cockpit I would recommend simply using the space for a trash bin for now and after you have completed the first few shakedown cruises and ready to replace the teak you will have a better idea of what to do with the space. I had suspected you were going to put a hard dodger connected to a hard cockpit cover. In that case you would want to put stainless steel posts in that area or at least something to anchor the eisenglass in. Is Ava more sensitive to the sun?
